Hi Tom,
I used an AF version of the lens, so it may not be the same as the MF
version. I do, however, believe I'm more critical than many other
people on the list. However, my comments were very specific caveat:
that the lens was used at its widest apertures. I was dissatisfied
with the light falloff, which I estimated to be at about a stop. I
wouldn't have a clue as to whether the sample I used was poor or not.
The owner of the lens, a sometimes list member and contributor, agreed
with my observations about the light falloff, but he found it
acceptable based on his needs and use of the lens.
